🌱 Westhampton-Hampton Bays Daily: Little Girl Battles Cancer + Fire

The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Westhampton-Hampton Bays.

(Patch Media)

It's parade day in Westhampton Beach, friends and neighbors! Get your green on and get to Main Street — I'll see you there!

On a more somber note, as word spread this week that we'd lost Starr Boggs, a veritable treasure on the Westhampton Beach canvas, hearts were broken. I'm working on a tribute to this man who touched so many lives with his heart and kindness — and with the restaurants that became woven into our lives and memories. I would like to include as many of your thoughts and words and photos as possible. Please send your memories to Lisa.Finn@patch.com. This is truly a loss to our community.

Until tomorrow. . . .
